Welcome. Thanks for visiting!

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I have a lot of crafting fun to share with you here on my blog and I don’t want you to miss a thing! To create an account, receive my blog posts via email, or sign up for my email newsletters, click below :)

People also have asked what I am going to do with it. There really is no where in my house that it works. And I decided against having it published and instead think I might auction it off or sell it to raise money for the card drives or something. Not sure yet – I just think the message is a good one and could really make someone smile.

That frame was plain wood. Then white. Then red. Then black. I couldn't decide.

The background is made up of old book pages applied on a chipboard background with Multi Medium and then painted lightly over with Studio white paint.

I die cut a bunch of cardstock hearts with a PaperTrey Ink die and laid them on a craft sheet. Colin then sprayed them heavily with Perfect Pearl Mist and even shook on some more Perfect Pearls. The puddles of shine dried leaving such a cool look on the hearts.

Colin then put a foam dot on the back of each and I placed them within a traced on the background. Team work.

And I loved every minute of creating it. Even if it took a lot of minutes. 🙂

Oh my! This is amazing beyond amazing. OK. Going to make one this weekend. No wait. Busy cavorting with KP this weekend. Next weekend. But it will give me an excuse to go shopping for supplies tomorrow. And I just bought those heart dies too! Yeah!

The hearts look blue, the links to the mist and the perfect pearls are for the white (perfect pearl) colour and I’m guessing the cardstock hearts were white so did you add a blue somewhere? One of the new mists?

Loved your heart! I was amazed at how different each of the challenge pieces were…and that I could pick out so many artists just by their style…of course yours was one! It’s so great how you get Colin involved in what you love to do and you can share time together doing it!

I love this project…I’ve seen photos of it a few times and everytime I do, I have to stop and stare at it for a while…it’s so stunning with all the shimmer…I love it! I think I need to attempt to make one of my own…the colors you used would look great in my craft room.

This is so fun – especially when you shared with your family in the creation…. you are definitely an inspiration and I would love to know where you are auctioning it! This might be a project to recreate over again – the perfect gift!

Wow I totally LOVE this! I think this would be a really cute card too in a smaller version… seriously I’m so jealous of your creativity. I mostly just scraplift 😉 Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and also love Colin’s work! He’s such a good helper.

Great invitations! I think they would work for my 10 year old, too! I am laughing at myself, though, because I was going to ask you where you had gotten those cool swirly wave stamps, and then I realized that that was where you had smeared out the details of the party! Hope the party is/was a blast for Colin!

I saw this fantastic project on Pintrest and was wondering if it was ok if I made a project similar to this? I’ve been looking for ways to encourage my mother and I think she’d like this. I won’t copy it exactly the way you made it but I would like to use the overall idea.

Hello….Love your beautiful beautiful heart!!
Our son lost his baby daughter three years ago. The Drs told them at four mos inutero, Isabella would not make it to the next dr visit. Every month her low heart rate was there and it told us she wanted to meet her family. She arrived and lived eight days. Our son wrote a book and set up a foundation within the first months after Bella passed. The color in your heart is the color of the foundation. You have a gift. God bless you♥️
